Last season, Frank Sartori is our current champion. Due to his absence, a celebrity took over and play Beat The Dealer. After winning the Blackjack Bonus, Mr. Sartori now has a grand total of $431,571 in cash and prizes. Right now, this is Frank's final day as champion. If he wins one more match, he'll take home a brand new automobile and the right to play the Gambit Galaxy for $1 million.
Right now, I'm looking for an opponent to play against Frank. If you want to participate, please let me know and be on standby. Good luck...

I wish you the very best of luck, Frank.
Before we begin the game, we'll take a short 2-minute pause. After the break, we'll begin the first round and see if one of them scores a blackjack or a 21. We'll start round 1 of Gambit right after this. Stick around...

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Welcome back to the season premiere of Gambit. Now that we had gotten to know our players, please allow me to explain the rules-- The object of the game is to get closer to 21 from your opponent... without going over. I'll be asking a series of multiple choice questions. Each time you give me a correct answer, we'll give you $100 and control of the card. Be careful... because if you give me an incorrect response (or miss the deadline), your opponent scores 100 bucks. If you get a 21... please look at the big money legend on my podium. [BELL CLANGS]If you get a combination of at least three cards that add up to 21, you'll win the Any 21 Wins pot of $4,500. [CHEERS, APPLAUSE]If you get an Ace and either a 10 or face card, you will win the Blackjack Bonus of $17,500! [LOUDER CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Before the start of the show, the lab rats at RANDOM.ORG have given our new dealer Cheryl a deck of 54 super sized playing cards that were shuffled, cut, and sealed for her. Right now, Cheryl is gonna break the seal and start round 1. What card are these two players are gonna play on? Cheryl Burke: Our first card in round 1 is a Jack. [CHEERS, APPLAUSE CONTINUES]Tony: What a great start to begin round 1 with a Jack. Good luck to both of you... here comes the first question... Libya, Germany, or Romania-- In which country is Transylvania?*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. |

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]And Matt is keeping his Jack. If his next card is an Ace, he'll win the $17,500 Blackjack Bonus and the first game of the match. Cheryl won't be revealing the next card throughout each round unless someone answers this next question correctly. Here it comes... Nazareth, Bethlehem, or Jerusalem-- According to the Bible, what was the name of the town which was the birthplace of Jesus Christ?

[APPLAUSE]Matt is keeping that card. By the time Cheryl reveals the card... and if it's an Ace, you will win the Blackjack Bonus of $17,500. If not, the game will continue. Right now, let's focus on the now and see if you win the Blackjack Bonus. Cheryl... please reveal Matt's next card. Cheryl: Good luck to you, Matt. Your next card is... *slowly reveals card* ...an Ace! Tony: Blackjack! Matt wins $17,500! [BELL CLANGS, SIREN, 21 WIN CUE, CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Congratulations on winning the Blackjack Bonus, Matt. How do you feel after winning it?

Sweet! If you win one more round, you'll be playing the Gambit Board for thousands more. Coming up after the break, it's judgment day for Frank. He needs to win this round and force into a tie ballgame situation. The quest for a new car and the Gambit Galaxy hangs in the balance for our champion. Find out who conquers round 2 when Gambit returns... after this. You do not want to miss it. We'll be right back.

*back to studio* [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]Welcome back to Gambit. After a quick first round, our challenger Matt has won the first game of the match including the Blackjack Bonus for a cash total of $17,700. Our champion, meanwhile, haven't scored a single penny. Don't worry, Frank... you'll get your chance at a tie match. First of all, let's take a look at the big money board. [CLANG]After the challenger's Blackjack Bonus win, we've decided to reset it back to $10,000. Meanwhile, the Any 21 Wins pot is now up to $5,000. [CHEERS, APPLAUSE]Round 2 now begins with the first card up for grabs. Cheryl...? Cheryl: Not a good start in our second round. Our first card is a 2. [AUDIENCE GROANS]Tony: The good news is that each correct answer is $100. And the contestant closer to 21 (without going over) scores an additional $500. Frank, you need this for a tie game. If the both of you are ready, here comes the first question in round 2. Sumo, Kendo, or Origami-- Name the traditional and popular wrestling sport of Japan.*You have 24 hours to PM your buzz-code between 1 and 100. Please do not use the same code in this round... or you'll be locked. |
